Abstract

High mobility of mobile nodes is one of the major reasons for link failures in mobile ad hoc network (MANET). The present paper aims at proposing modification of well known Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol for MANET seeking stable route for data transmission and incorporating link break avoidance scheme for such networks. The performance of the proposed routing protocol, named as Route Stability based Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector (RSAODV), is evaluated considering some major performance metrics which include average route life time, throughput, packet delivery fraction, normalized routing load and end–to-end delay. The study is based on simulation runs adopting CBR traffic pattern taking care of node failure scenarios. The performance of RAODV is compared with AODV routing protocol. The simulation runs exhibit significant increase in average route life time, packet delivery fraction and throughput for RSAODV, on the other hand, the normalized routing load and end–to-end delay are reduced for this routing protocol as compared to AODV routing protocol.
